Rodent dynamics:

Voles and insectivores were absent in snap-trap catches on a permanent line on 9-11 June, while September value of 0.3 animals/100 trap-nights was close to abundance in 2004.
Abundant precipitation resulted in flooding of cylinders in a birch forest, but 6 Common Shrews and 1 Grey-sided Vole were captures during 1 day in August. 7 Common Shrews and 1 Bank Vole were captures during 6 day in cylinderes on a coastal meadows, while 9 shrews were captured on the same line during 1 day in August.
Microtus sp. voles were not captured. As in previous years Norwegian Lemming Lemmus lemmus, Wood Lemmings Myopus schisticolor and Water Vole Arvicola terrestris have not been recorded anywhere. Wood Lemmings was not found also on the Kolsky coast.
